[Chapter 166] The lieutenant's request
After the heavy rain, toads of all sizes swarmed towards Er Gouzi's house like they were going to a market. The house and yard were covered with three floors inside and three outside, and there was no water leakage. They kept throwing them away and chasing them away, regardless of Er Gouzi's efforts.
The child crawled into his house.
Except for Er Gouzi's house, there was not even a toad in front of any other house. The country folk, after the rain, had nothing to do, so they all gathered around Er Gouzi's house to see the strange things. When they saw Er Gouzi kicking and scratching, they were all busy.
However, everyone came to help and drove the toads away.
And those toads were really strange. They left the ditch and pond in front of Er Gouzi's house, but instead burrowed into Er Gouzi's house like an evil spirit. They kicked it away and threw it away. After a while, they came back again, so angry.
Ergouzi dropped his broom, took a shovel, and slashed at the densely packed toads.
Seeing the corpses of their companions separated and blood flowing all over the ground, the toads still turned a blind eye and rushed forward one after another as if they were dead.
Groups of toads are very common, and it is not unusual for groups of toads to gather together. What is strange is why they desperately burrow into Ergouzi's house. After everyone was busy for a while, they saw that the toads did not care about their life or death, and did not care at all.
Not wanting to retreat, he stopped his hand and looked at it thoughtfully.
Ergouzi, who was furious and in a hurry, slowly began to discuss in a low voice with the more and more toads: Why don't these toads exist in other houses or go to other places? What is it about Ergouzi's house that attracts them?
Is it worth these little things risking their lives to get into Ergouzi's house?
As the toads gathered in Ergouzi's house more and more, seeing that the good-looking house was covered with those lumpy and awkward toads, without even a place to put their feet, Ergouzi's daughter-in-law could not hold back her anger at first.
Cursing, he threw a baggage across the courtyard wall.
Strangely enough, ever since the baggage was thrown out, the toads that had been squeezing in had retreated one after another without being driven away, and disappeared completely after a while.
What magical weapon was contained in that baggage that could be so powerful? A young man walked over and opened the baggage and saw that there was nothing else inside but a three-legged toad carved from stone.
Since this incident spread, the reputation of the Liuli Eye has become even more famous. People spread the word orally, and gradually the Liuli Eye has become a local legend. Some say that the Liuli Eye is the reincarnation of the fish spirit water monster, and some say that the Liuli Eye is the reincarnation of the fish spirit water monster.
They say that he is the descendant of a dragon from the gods. Of course, some people say that if you look at his appearance, he might be the reincarnation of some kind of ghost or evil spirit.
Regardless of whether people praise or criticize it, the reputation of Liuli Eyes is getting bigger and bigger among us.
As the saying goes, people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong, let alone the autumn of troubled times. The anecdote about Liuliyan going into the water to save people at the age of five is spreading more and more, and at the age of eight, he found a rare treasure in an old vortex, plus that
When the three-legged toad was lost and recovered, his fame was so high that no one knew about it, from the elderly to the young children!
At this moment, the special commissioner who was whispering to the American soldiers suddenly stopped, coughed and interrupted the old hunter's words, looked at everyone with a smile and said: "Sorry to excuse you, Lieutenant Jack is very interested in our mysterious Eastern culture."
I am very interested, especially those weird things! As for some children who can swim since childhood, although it is rare, it is normal. There are also children with super IQs like this in the United States. There is one thing.
Lieutenant Jack hopes that you can help him."
What the special commissioner said made us feel confused. We don’t know how this favor is meant to help. Besides, so many of us risked our lives to take him to the rear safety area. Is this a small favor?
"Hello, Commissioner, I want to know what kind of help this American lieutenant wants from us?" As the battalion commander, Boss Liu had to ask, "He wants to go back quickly and go back to his hometown in the United States to see his children.
? This is not possible, it doesn’t matter if it’s one day earlier or one day later, we have to ensure that he must reach the rear safely.”
"Haha, Battalion Commander Liu, you misunderstood!" The commissioner laughed for a while and said solemnly, "Lieutenant Jack hopes that we can give him something. He wants to take it to the United States for research."
"What is it? As long as we have it, we will definitely not be stingy. He has come all the way to China, so it's only right to give him something." Hearing that we were asked to give him something, Battalion Commander Liu said easily. We do the same.
Suddenly I realized that these little things are really nothing. As long as we have it, we will definitely give it to him. Only Dasha touched his pocket nervously. I knew that Dasha must be very worried that what the American lieutenant wanted was the scorpion.
precious.
"Yes, yes. These days, you all say that there is. Jack hopes that we can send him a 'ghost'. He wants to take it back to the United States for research." The commissioner looked at us with certainty.
"What? Send him a ghost?"
We were all stunned for a moment. Yes, we always believe that there is such a thing as a ghost, but to give him one and let him take it away, this, this is really a headache.
"Commissioner, are you Chinese? Can you give away things like ghosts to others casually?" Boss Liu used offense as defense.
In fact, there is nothing we can do, because we have told him a long time ago that there is indeed a ghost. We also promised just now that as long as there is something, we will definitely give him one. But we have never thought of how to give it.
"Liu Yingzhang, I am Chinese, but I grew up in the United States. I have heard my parents talk about ghosts. I have never seen them with my own eyes. If it is not too troublesome, I think I should give one to Jack.
."
"Then, I want to ask, what does he want to use ghosts for?"
The special correspondent quickly chatted with Lieutenant Jack for a while, and then said solemnly, "Lieutenant Jack believes that the ghost may be an unknown creature, and he wants to bring it back and hand it over to the American officials for research."
At that time, the Americans could not afford to offend. They could directly meet with the military leaders and even Chairman Chiang Kai-shek. It seems that it is best for us to satisfy his wish.
Boss Liu said that there are indeed ghosts, but ghosts are really difficult to catch. We are only responsible for fighting. There are no magicians and witches in the local area who can catch ghosts for the time being, so this matter may not be easy to handle.
Finally, Lieutenant Jack expressed that he understood our difficulties, but hoped that we could take him to see ghosts with his own eyes, so that the trip would be worthwhile.
Now that we have said it, we can't refuse any more. We can only think of a way to let the American soldier see it.
Although we firmly believe that there are ghosts in the world and have personally experienced many bizarre encounters, it was the first time for us to get on the sedan when Captain Jack asked us to do so. It was difficult for us to create a ghost and let Lieutenant Jack see it for himself.
It's really not small.
Afraid of water at a distance, afraid of ghosts at a distance. This sentence means that when you go to a strange place, because you are not familiar with the water conditions, the risk of entering the water is greater, so you are afraid of water at a distance; and the meaning of the second half of the sentence is that only
Only people nearby will know which places are more evil and prone to ghost sightings. So we can only ask for help from the old hunters who are locals.
